Installation CD does not exist.

[Emil H]

I have an OEM installed Win 2000 pro. Got hit with Virus,
critical files are missing. I want to re-install however I
do not have the original installation CD. I have the code
on the box. Can I get SP3 and use that as the installation
CD?

No not possible.

Aren't all the Win2K CAB files in a folder on those types
of OEM installations?
